This month for my Go To Patterns Brand Ambassador pattern, I chose the

I figured that they'd make perfect Fall/Winter Sunday dresses, especially since the pattern has a long sleeve option.

My girls were both pretty thrilled with them--even the youngest!

I think I'll be lengthening my older daughters dress a bit yet by cutting the bottom of the skirt off, adding a contrasting strip of fabric and sewing the bottom back onto that. I feel it's a little too short, and that is my own fault since the pattern has finished dress measurements--I just didn't look closely enough at those.

The dark fabric is from Art Gallery's Tule line that I bought a couple of months ago at Canadian National Fabric. The other fabrics are a Ty Pennington line that I picked up at Stay Home Fabrics some time ago as well.

No adjustments were made to the pattern--they were sewn in a quilting cotton that I had in my stash from a couple years back.

They're perfect for a little girl on the move, and even though it's heading into Fall here, I think we'll get enough wear out of these, even in the house, or with tights underneath to make it look even more skirt-ish.

If you follow me on Facebook at all, you may have heard about my hot pink skinny pants.

Well, here they are, and I'm thrilled with how they turned out!

I used Jocole's Skinny Pants pattern, and did have to make a few adjustments.

The waist was too big and the hips were perfect (even though I had blended sizes according to my measurements.)

So, I took it in a bit at the side seams, tapering into the regular seam at the hips.

I also added darts on the back, just above the pockets, to take in any gaping so that it wouldn't look bunched and saggy while on.

The fabric is a slightly stretchy twill that I bought off a destash site on Facebook.

They are super comfy with the yoga waistband!

I now want to make many more in different fabrics...we'll see if I ever get to it, but I'm super happy with them.

The Kinaco Skirt is sewn with a drapey grey fabric that I have absolutely no idea what it is.

It is a thrift shop purchase, but I love the softness and how ideal it is for fall!

The skirt's design is really neat--I really like the asymmetrical design and the fit is spot on.
For the lining, I used the same knit I used for the shirt--it is super soft and comfortable!

The Women's Cowl Neck Tee is sewn with a nice eggplant colored knit that I bought through a Canadian destash group on Facebook.

The shirt is comfortable, yet flattering. And, again...it's not just a plain t-shirt!
It is a super fast sew with an elegant cowl and an optional banded hem.
Also, the sleeves are a nice fluttery sleeve instead of the 'normal' tighter sleeve, which is a neat feature.

The Buckle Me UP Beauty is sewn with quilting cotton from Walmart and the accents are Essex linen from Fabric.com. Again, hardware is from Emmaline Bags. It's definitely large enough to be a diaper bag, for which I'm super excited--now I can have a stylish diaper bag as well for taking the kids out and about.
